Patrick Wimberly, the 49-year-old mayor of the city of Inkster, located outside of Detroit, has been charged by federal prosecutors with bribery.
"Mr. Wimberly was elected to serve the people of Inkster, yet he prioritized his personal interests and greed over their needs," Cheyvoryea Gibson, special agent in charge of the FBI in Michigan, said in a statement. "The FBI considers public corruption its primary criminal investigative concern and will continue investigating allegations to maintain public trust in elected officials."

The charge was filed following an investigation by the FBI's Detroit Area Corruption Task Force. Inkster, located outside of Detroit, has a population of around 25,000.
